This is the greatest news article I've read in a loooong time.
I have seen nurses who became so short of breath running to a code that we almost had to resucitate them... when your weight is a occupational health and safety issue it becomes problematic.. I hate to say it but I had a patient complain one time about the body odour of a nurse who was obese... I have to agree
I love the shortened title...
Tribunal upholds decision to keep 300-lb. nurse out of opera
Maybe the opera is a better place for her.
She's a fat lady. Does she sing?
The decision seems to be based on health issues, not the woman's bulk.
I have to agree on this one.. as a nurse who has worked with many obese nurses I think they should know themselves that their weight is a work environment hasard... I have seen many who cant function properly. especially in times when you have to be quick on your feet..
